Buddha’s Bollywood Party

Overview

History lessons at Concrete Playground are very rare, but I'm here to tell you a fact you may or may not know – Buddhism first arose in India around the 13^th century, but has since been taken over by Hinduism, which you may know as the most popular religion in India. Buddhism is an incredibly old and beautiful Indian custom that Westerners have also adopted. India has been influenced by us too, hence Bollywood, which is in fact the largest cinema industry in the world.

Combining these two facts together, there's no wonder that Jade Buddha have chosen to bring in the New Year with a Bollywood Party – it's in their blood!

There's also two seatings for dinner if you're hungry (you'll need to book in advance), but the benefits are great – you get canapes, a bindi to match your saari and will be entertained by fire twirlers.

If you've never been to the tranquil Jade Buddha, it's situated on Eagle Street Pier and overlooks the Story Bridge and the Brisbane River, and has an award-winning restaurant and bar, as well its sister joint, Shadow Lounge. In other words, this is the perfect way to spend your New Years Eve if you're looking for something a bit out of the ordinary, but still classy.
